Provides that when a vehicle is authorized to be towed away, the name of the registered owner of the vehicle and the contact information of the registered owner of the vehicle shall be in writing, or confirmed in writing, with a copy given to the towing service.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that personal medicine and health care devices, including hearing instruments; social security cards; passbooks; and higher education textbooks and study materials shall not be subject to a lien. Provides that a person who has indicated in a timely filed report to the appropriate law enforcement agency that a vehicle has been stolen or hijacked: (1) is not liable for any governmentally imposed fees, fines, or penalties; and (2) if the vehicle towed is registered in Illinois and the name and address of the registered owner of the vehicle is provided or made available to the towing service at the time of the tow, then the towing service must provide written notice of the tow to the registered owner within 2 business days after the vehicle is towed by certified mail, return receipt requested. Provides that no storage charges shall accrue if the vehicle is reclaimed by paying recovery and towing charges at the posted rates of the towing service within 7 days after such notice is mailed. If the vehicle that was towed is registered in a state other than Illinois, provides that no storage charges shall accrue if the vehicle is reclaimed by paying recovery and towing charges at the posted rates of the towing service within 7 days after a request for registered owner information is mailed by the towing service, certified mail, return receipt requested, to the applicable administrative agency or office in that state.
